Nikota - Tags: From The Branches, #chorus, #Import 2023-04-05 11:27 [As Cam Charron points out](http://theleafsnation.com/2012/7/9/maple-leafs-sign-holzer-take-kulemin-to-arbitration?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com), [Nikolai Kulemin](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54310/nikolai-kulemin?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) is scheduled to have an arbitration hearing on August 4th. Naturally, we all hope that it doesn't come down to that, but there are definitely a lot of wingers in the depth chart, and a trade could yet be looming for Leafs' fans' second-favourite Russian. Of course, maybe Kulemin's agent and Brian Burke just need a bit more time to work things out, and a deal is already in the works. Fingers crossed. It's a tough deal to make, with Kulemin having a career year in 2010-11, and then regressing rather abruptly in 2011-12\. What would you award him?
